We propose the use of a decoupling renormalization scheme in the calculation of NLO corrections to SM-like Higgs boson decays in the beyond the Standard Model models. The advantage of this particular scheme is its decoupling property in the…
In this paper, we firstly varify that the factorization hypothesis is valid for the exclusive process $\rho \gamma^{\star} \to \pi$ at the next-to-leading order (NLO) with the collinear factorization approach, and then extend this proof to…
We present a computation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the production of a Higgs boson in association with a W boson at the LHC and the subsequent decay of the Higgs boson into a b-bbar pair, treating the…
We present an analysis of two-body B decays with a pseudoscalar (P) and an axial-vector meson (A) in the final state using naive factorization. We employ as inputs a limited number of experimental data, i.e. results for the B -> K1 gamma…
We show -- by explicit computation of first-order corrections -- that the QCD factorization approach previously applied to hadronic two-body decays and to form factor ratios also allows us to compute non-factorizable corrections to…
Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism, we compute QCD next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to the helicity amplitudes as well as the decay width of $Z\to H+\gamma$, where $H$ can be $\eta_Q…
The standard approaches for describing top quark production and its decay dynamics are currently mostly either based on the narrow-width (NW) limit or on off-shell fixed-order calculations. In this article we present a factorised approach…
We investigate the possibility of testing factorization hypothesis in non-leptonic exclusive decays of B-meson. In particular, we considered the non factorizable \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-} modes and \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} (\pi^-,…
We present the calculation of the decay $H \rightarrow b\overline{b}j$ at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy. We consider contributions in which the Higgs boson couples directly to bottom quarks, i.e. our predictions are accurate…
We discuss our ongoing effort to calculate form factors for several B and Bs semileptonic decays. We have recently completed the first unquenched calculation of the form factors for the rare decay B -> K ll. Extrapolated over the full…
The energetic exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of B mesons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model within the factorization approximation. The heavy quark expansion is used for the calculation of form factors.…
The Higgs-boson decay h -> gamma l+ l- for various lepton states l = (e, mu, tau) is analyzed. The differential decay width and forward-backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass in a model where the Higgs…
I report on three recent topics from the field of two-body nonleptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ mesons. The computation of two-loop NNLO corrections to the leading penguin amplitudes in QCD factorisation, puzzles that have emerged in…
We introduce the physical factorisation scheme, which is necessary to describe observables which are `not completely inclusive'. We derive the formulae for NLO DGLAP evolution in this scheme, and also for the `rotation' of the conventional…
